@BritishFreedom What proportion of the workforce are “little men”, and AFTER INFLATION how much are their wages going up by ?

@BritishFreedom Yes and I remember that when the UK joined the EEC , we were BANKRUPT, having to go cap in hand to the IMF for a hand out. I thought you would have known that, and I’m sure you know we were the 5th richest country in the world in 2016, but now we are the 6th. Spot the trend ? Need I mention that the £ today is 89% of its 2016 value. Figured it out yet ? Regarding our fishing industry, it’s worth less than our lawnmower industry, and mainly owned by 6 super rich families. Check out Greenpeace for the way that industry is run. Regarding our manufacturing base, I’m sure you’ve heard of Margaret Thatcher and her monetary policies and attitude to “lame duck “ industries, and “get on your bike” Norman Tebbit, meaning head to the south and south-east to get a job....places like Swindon. Oh I forgot, Honda in Swindon are closed now because of Brexit. Figured it out yet ? .....Just because you have a 30% pay rise, it doesn’t mean Brexit is working, in fact your pay rise is because BREXIT IS NOT WORKING. No pay rise for 15 years !! The levelling up Tories have been in Office since 2010. That’s nearly 12 years !! Figured it out yet ? Don’t pray for that Tory promise...one of many...The Northern Powerhouse !!

@BritishFreedom You’re certainly in the “little man” category judging by the way you talk.....self self self. I don’t begrudge your salary ....I was on twice that when I retired.....but your Brexit benefit is the exception and you ignore the damage it is causing to the majority.

@BritishFreedom You’re a fraud. British Freedom !! Not only are you a HGV driver, or so you say, but now you’re an economist . Brain of Britain , your country needs you....not.

@danielfasey7648 You’re easily pleased because you’re going to need every penny you earn to keep pace with inflation. Brexit isn’t working because let’s face it, there wasn’t a consistent strategy except to anoint king boris, and eat happy fish.

@BritishFreedom I asked you a very simple question, Have you answered it ? No. I don’t think you’re a HGV driver and I don’t think you’re from Leeds. You are however a very dangerous fraud.

@BritishFreedom I hope you don’t write your speeches ....the speeches of the little man you clearly are.....while you’re driving your HGV. I think you’re a fraud. Was the UK BANKRUPT when we joined the EEC, or not ?

@BritishFreedom You’re such a fraud. The British economy is tanking under Brexit, and you are happy at your trivial wage increase which is a consequence of the economy tanking, affecting EVERYONE, the poorest the poorest most of all. Tell me, did you trudge in Farages footsteps from Sunderland to that pub in Hartlepool ....I bet you did. You’re so full of it British Freedom. I bet you have a cross of St George flag fluttering in your garden !!

@BritishFreedom I’m not knocking HGV drivers, but just because you have a relatively decent pay rise, you then conclude that it proves that Brexit is good, while I see that it proves Brexit is bad. In your specific case, driver shortage was predicted by John Major in 2016, and yet the government....King Boris, spending £200,000 to tart up his Downing Street doss....the government , effectively in control since 2010, have done nothing to correct the lorry driver shortage. Don’t blame that on the EU, or the Labour Party , because it doesn’t take 11 years to train to be a HGV driver, but blame it on the Tory government. I’ve worked widely in the UK and in France, and passing frequently through Dover, I’ve seen the colossal HGV traffic at all hours of the day and night. I’ve seen the lay-byes full of sleeping drivers, and the smells because there are no facilities. I’ve also seen and experienced the ease at which traffic used to be able to cross the channel, with minimum delay to food deliveries from Spain for example....Yet Dominic Raab one of the leading Brexit politicians, displayed colossal ignorance of the importance of Dover to our economy. Well I’m not an economist either, but it’s not rocket science to imagine the damage to our supply of food, that becoming a third country would cause....and it has !! Regarding the reading you do etc.... I suspect you read a lot of National Front / BNP /Brexit party Farage literature, and it shows in your twisted views. Well I have strong views too, and although I was a high rate taxpayer for 2/3 of my working life, I still have all my Dads payslips, and know that the Tory Party is all about self interest, and creaming off the public purse, while conning the working people of this country that they’re doing a good job. As far as Brexit is concerned it’s a con trick to benefit a few, at the expense of the many. One day you might, just might realise that. PS. I don’t need you to tell where I can and cannot live.

@BritishFreedom I’m surprised you’re not out there picking fruit, or driving a HGV. Incidentally in the UK we say Maths, or Sums, but rarely do we say “do the math”. You are UK passport holder. Perhaps you attended Eton....yes that’s the explanation.

@forsdykemontague1017 Interesting......you don’t think this government has interfered with business and the free market in a colossal way by the “oven ready deal” they have negotiated with the EU. Name ONE country in the EU which has called out the Army to transport fuel to resolve a CIVIL crisis. As far as the small state which you refer to, please explain why the government have had to bail out a US owned fertiliser company to stop it going bust !!!

@BritishFreedom Bravo for you . “We say what we want”.....bullshit, and you know it....you won’t say that to the Douanes when they pull you over. They won’t stand any nonsense from conard “ British Freedom “ lorry drivers like you. I wonder if you re a fuel tanker driver, or queuing up at Dover for hours/days at an end , because your paperwork is incorrect. It figures....you deliver “fruit” for Morrison’s. Eejit.

@forsdykemontague1017 Name one EU country that has called out the Army to transport fuel supplies.
2
@forsdykemontague1017 Ohhh....you didn’t ask what I did for a living , you asked Wizard !! That prompted me to ask that of you, because I found it rather pompous to ask . Judging by your posts , I would have expected that as an Investment Banker 🤔 you would know that the only country in Europe using the Army to transport fuel supplies is .....ruled by king boris, of Talk Radio, Boris Johnson, I make model buses ...fame !!

@forsdykemontague1017 Before you have the nerve to ask someone “what do you do”, you might consider stating what you do , and if you think you are highly skilled, before people judge you by your YouTube channel !!

@garyspruce7736 Wise up Gary.

@forsdykemontague1017 For the third time.....how many EU countries have called out the army to transport fuel ? I would have thought that an “Investment Banker” would have the answer at his finger tips !!
1
@garyspruce7736 Well Gary, that’s simple....England !! I only asked Forsdyke Montague what he did for a living , because he had the nerve to ask that question of someone else. He replied claiming to be an Investment Banker, but his posts so far suggest he’s an apprentice.....nothing wrong with that, except with the economy tanking the way it is, the first to be given the cards...are the apprentices !!

@garyspruce7736 No supply shortages of timber for example ? You can’t possibly speak for “the building industry “.
1
@forsdykemontague1017 Aequalsthesquarerootofgammartea is the formula for what ?
1
@garyspruce7736 On the contrary , it is you who sets himself as the expert for the building industry. I have personal experience of timber supply shortages in Jewsons, and long delays in getting multifinish and undercoat plaster from Jewsons.

@forsdykemontague1017 Oh come on Mr Investment Banker !!
1
@forsdykemontague1017 Oh really !!

Brexit isn’t working
